Dear Parents, 

Frosty mornings mean beautiful autumn days. I remind parents to label clothing so we can return any jumpers to their owners. It was really pleasing yesterday to see every student with a school hat on for PE! Although the weather is cool, wearing a hat is a very sensible, sun safe routine for school, and for any other time too! Thank you for supporting this routine with your child/ren! 

Clean Up and 100TH Anniversary

Our school is looking very tidy following a huge clean out of old furniture from under the school. Thank you to everyone who may have scored an item to repurpose at home. We are getting ready to launch our 100^th Anniversary of Catholic Education in Batlow at the start of Term 3. Our small committee have planned several activities to mark this special year. Details are nearly set and all information will be announced soon!

        Please be aware of the following items:

• Expressions of Interest in our Ski Trip next term are due tomorrow. This excursion is optional.
• Semester One Reports will be released on Compass Friday 23 June.
• Parent Teacher Conferences held Monday 26 June, Tuesday 27 June and Wednesday 28 June.
• Term 2 finishes Friday 30 June.                                         
• Term 3 commences for students Tuesday 18 July.

Have a lovely week everyone!

Pentecost is an important Christian event, observed on the seventh Sunday after Easter, that celebrates the blessings of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ; as mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1-31).

Pentecost will fall on this Sunday, 28th of May. 

 Please know you are most welcome to attend Mass with us at 5pm this Sunday.

Let us be still and ask the Holy Spirit to be with us.

Dear Father, be with us as we pray.

Open our ears to hear your Word in the Gospel.

Unite us in faith, hope and love as we pray together.

Send your Holy Spirit

to inspire and sustain us in our mission.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sacraments

Thank you to those parents who have contacted me about their child receiving the sacrament of First Holy Communion.

If there are any other parents wishing for their children to participate, please let me know as soon as possible. amy.buckmaster@cg.catholic.edu.au
